AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KEY WEST FL
402 PM EST SAT MAR 3 2012

...A POWERFUL WIND SURGE WILL IMPACT THE FLORIDA KEYS AND SURROUNDING
WATERS SUNDAY...

.DISCUSSION...
CURRENTLY - THE WESTERN END OF A LOWER TROPOSPHERIC RIDGE EXTENDS
ACROSS THE KEYS AND FLORIDA STRAITS...RESULTING IN GENTLE TO MODERATE
SOUTHEAST BREEZES ACROSS THE KEYS. HIGH TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE MID
80S WITH DEW POINT TEMPERATURES HOLDING NEAR 70 DEGREES. SKIES HAVE
BEEN MOSTLY SUNNY ACROSS THE KEYS...WITH ONLY A FEW PATCHES OF
STRATOCUMULUS MAKING IT NORTH OF CUBA. WEAK SHOWER ACTIVITY OVER OUR
WESTERN OUTER STRAITS HAVE LONG SINCE DISSIPATED.

FORECAST - GENTLE TO MODERATE SOUTHEAST BREEZES WILL BEGIN TO
STRENGTHEN LATE TONIGHT OUT OF THE SOUTH AS A PREFRONTAL TROUGH MOVES
INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS
ARE EXPECTED DUE TO NO FORCING AND CUBA BLOCKING MOST OF THE CLOUD
LINES. A DAILY WARM LOW RECORD WAS LIKELY SET TODAY AS TEMPERATURES
ARE NOT EXPECTED TO FALL BELOW 77 DEGREES AT THE KEY WEST
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE KEYS AROUND
MIDDAY SUNDAY. BREEZY TO WINDY SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL SWITCH TO
NORTHWESTERLY AND STRENGTHEN A BIT FURTHER...AS A HIGH PRESSURE
SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED VERY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT FILES IN BEHIND
THE COLD FRONT. WILL RAISE POPS TO LIKELY AS THERE IS GOOD VERTICAL
COHESION THROUGH THE LOWER LEVELS...WITH THE PREFRONTAL TROUGH
EXTENDING ABOVE 850 MB. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY BE ACHIEVED BY
MID MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL THEN FALL INTO THE UPPER 60S THROUGH
THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY AFTER THE FRONT AND ENSUING STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION MOVES THROUGH THE KEYS.

WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO RELAX A BIT SUNDAY NIGHT AFTER THE INITIAL PUSH
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL FLOW IN OUT OF THE
NORTH ALLOWING OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES TO FALL TO NEAR 60 DEGREES
OR A BIT BELOW. RAIN CHANCES WILL QUICKLY DROP TO ZERO AS MUCH DRIER
AND MORE STABLE AIR INFILTRATES THE KEYS.

EXPECT NORTHEAST WINDS TO LULL BRIEFLY ON MONDAY AS THE KEYS WAIT
FOR A LARGER HIGH TO CONSOLIDATE OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. A
STILL COOL TRAJECTORY WILL KEEP DAY TIME HIGHS NEAR 70 DEGREES AND NO
CHANCE OF RAIN. THE GRADIENT WILL FIRM UP MONDAY NIGHT...AND BREEZY
TO WINDY NORTHEAST BREEZES WILL RETURN LATE THAT NIGHT.

THROUGH THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK THE STRONG HIGH OVER THE EASTERN
UNITED STATES WILL ELONGATE EASTWARD WHILE KEEPING A VERY TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE KEYS. BREEZY TO WINDY WINDS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THIS PERIOD WHILE GRADUALLY TURNING MORE EAST
NORTHEASTERLY. STEADY MODERATION OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURE
AND MOISTURE ALONG WITH A FAST VEERING FLOW THROUGH THE BOUNDARY
LAYERS JUSTIFIES AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN THROUGH THE
EXTENDED.

&&

.MARINE...
MODERATE SOUTHEAST FLOW ACROSS THE KEYS WILL TURN SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
AND INCREASE TONIGHT AS A PREFRONTAL TROUGH APPROACHES THE KEYS.
WINDS WILL INCREASE TO NEAR 20 KNOTS LATE TONIGHT/EARLY TOMORROW. A
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE REQUIRED FOR ALL KEYS WATERS. A STRONG
COLD FRONT WILL BLAST THROUGH THE KEYS BY AROUND MIDDAY SUNDAY...AND
STRONG AND GUSTY NORTHWEST BREEZES WILL INFILTRATE ALL KEYS WATERS BY
MID AFTERNOON. MARINERS CAN EXPECT WINDS TO INCREASE TO 25 TO 30
KNOTS AND GUSTY FOR SEVERAL HOURS AFTER THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH.
IN ADDITION...A LARGE NORTHWEST TO NORTH SWELL WILL MIGRATE INTO OUR
WESTERNMOST WATERS. WINDS WILL DECREASE SUNDAY NIGHT...BUT A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY WILL STILL BE REQUIRED. WINDS WILL LULL BRIEFLY MONDAY
AFTERNOON...BUT BUILD BACK UP MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY AS A LARGE
HIGH CONSOLIDATES OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. THEREAFTER...A TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL REMAIN ACROSS KEYS WATERS...KEEPING BREEZY TO
WINDY NORTHEAST TO EAST BREEZES ACROSS KEYS WATERS. A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE MARINE
FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION...
OUTSIDE OF A FEW BRIEF BOUTS OF MVFR CEILINGS NEAR 020...VFR
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT THE KEY WEST AND MARATHON ISLAND
TERMINALS THROUGH 04/12Z. SURFACE WINDS WILL BE FROM THE SOUTHEAST
AT 10 KNOTS OR LESS FOR THE BALANCE OF THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...BEFORE SLOWLY TURNING SOUTH SOUTHWEST AND INCREASING TO
BETWEEN 10 AND 15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS NEAR 20 KNOTS BY MORNING.
